California passes proposition 50, which will mean multiple anti-LGBTQ+ Republican congress people will likely lose their seat.

A continual bloodbath for anti-LGBTQ+ Republicans tonight.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

I interviewed with 20 studios in 2023 before finally finding a home at CDPR. Studios closed, projects got canceled, devs got laid off. As of today, only 1 of those roles remains. It's a wild time in the games industry

Genuinely begging you to re-up your MMR & get your kids vaccinated if you can. Between this & Kennedy talking about breaking it up into separate vaccines thus providing opportunities for missed inoculations &, thus, increased infections, public health policy is not looking great, for the foreseeable
South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days.

That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.
Idaho Banned Vaccine Mandates. Activists Want to Make It a Model for the Country.
The Idaho Medical Freedom Act makes it illegal to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive “medical intervention.” Leslie Manookian, the activist behind the law, hopes to make it a “societal norm” ...

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.
I thought we tried that in Monaco this year and it sucked.

I’ve been regularly volunteering at a food bank for about a year and please, if you want to help, consider donating cash.

For $3, they can provide 15 meals and what they can do with the money you might spend on a few cans can be converted to vastly more in fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, or meat.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Post 1/6

The WSJ just platformed Colin Wright claiming "evidence backs the transgender social-contagion hypothesis." This is pseudoscience wrapped in statistical sleight-of-hand, published by a biologist with zero expertise in gender identity or clinical psychology. Let's dismantle this rubbish. 🧵

I am the very model of an ancient trunkless leg of stone,
My shattered visage lies half buried with a sandy sneering frown,
The sculptor carved my arrogance upon these broken lifeless things,
My name is Ozymandias, the self-describèd King of Kings!

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.
